Description

Opposite the leaning Reichenturm tower, the Best Western Plus Hotel Bautzen, Bautzen, Germany, sits in the old town with inviting rooms that look over the rooftops or the Spree valley, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour sauna and mini-gym, five bright meeting rooms, and bicycles to hire for exploring. Down in the convivial restaurant, Saxon dishes and a family Sunday brunch come with local live music, and the bar serves drinks late into the night. Pastel old-town houses and the market square are a leisurely stroll away. Bautzen is nicknamed the City of Towers for the spires and bastions that crown its hill above the River Spree. Old stone ramparts ring a maze of cobbled lanes, the hilltop Ortenburg castle looks out over the river bend, and the town is a centre of the Sorbs, a Slavic people whose language still appears on its street signs. River paths and the lush Spree Valley invite an easy ride or walk.

"Don't book direct"
Aleksis K, 06 Mars 2026

On 6.3.2026 I found this hotel on booking.com for my wife. To be nice to the hotel I decided to book directly through the hotel by phone. When she arrived a few hours later to check in, they quoted her a price higher than booking.com. However, the receptionist claimed it was not possible to adjust the price. Management needs to empower their receptionists to not make guests furious over such a simple matter. They could have at least not charged for parking or some other gesture of good will. Obviously, stay somewhere where they are more flexible than Best Western or just use booking.com.

Owner Response, 06 Mars 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the difference between the price quoted by phone ([please insert price]) and the price shown on booking.com may have been frustrating. Please note that booking platforms set their own prices, and we have no influence over them. Our reception acted correctly. We hope your wife was still able to enjoy her stay. Best regards, Your Team vom Best Western Plus Hotel Bautzen

"Great location and helpful staff"
SgtBilkoWestSussex, 17 Août 2023

The Good: Great central location within easy walking distance of all that central Bautzen has to offer. Parking Great breakfast Good sized rooms The bad: No air-conditioning Rooms only made up on demand so make sure that you put that hanger on your door each morning!

"A poor night's sleep in a typical chain hotel"
TonySwiss, 26 Septembre 2021

The plus points were what you'd expect from a chain hotel of this class - efficient reservation and check-in, clean and modern room where everything worked, a comfortable bed and a no-surprises breakfast buffet. My problem? Our room was too hot, and with no A/C this meant sleeping with open windows. In a group of trees opposite the hotel, a group of presumably homeless persons partied into the small hours, and their dog barked most of the night. Joy riders revved their engines and sped down the road beneath our sixth-floor window. Priority one for any hotel guest is a good night's sleep, and I didn't have one. I can't judge whether rooms facing away from the road are any quieter.

Owner Response, 26 Septembre 2021

"Stopover hotel"
KarenG1971, 23 Juin 2019

We stayed for one night as a stopover on our way to Krakow. Not a particularly great looking building from the outside but very nice inside. Parking was good at the rear of the hotel. Receptionist was very helpful. We arrived to 30 degree heat just before a thunderstorm so were slightly concerned that there wasn't air conditioning in the room but a fan was provided so it wasn't too bad, although the sound of the fan clicking all night was annoying! We ate in the restaurant, the waitress was very friendly and the food was great. The town of Bautzen looked good but we only had the evening there so didn't get to see too much. Some great ice cream shops! We would definitely stay again for a stopover if needed.

Owner Response, 23 Juin 2019

Dear Guest, thank you very much for being our Guest and the review at Tripadvisor. Our staff is very happy about your good feedback. We hope to see you soon. Best Regards from the Mustard City Bautzen

"Very good"
Jean M, 06 Mai 2019

Definitely not charming but well located in the center, very decently priced and offering large, well equipped and comfortable rooms, this hotel is certainly a nice place to stay in Bautzen. Front desk is smiling and efficient, the hotel offers a pleasant sauna and parking is possible in or outside. Only(relatively minor) minus is the poor quality/efficiency of the blinds, so expect lots of light in the morning if you don't plan to get up with the sun. Unpleasant but this is quite a common problem in many hotels.

Owner Response, 06 Mai 2019

Dear Guest, we like to say thank you for your nice review at TripAdvisor and your stay in our Hotel. Ist glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Bautzen. The Fron Office Team will be so happy to see you again. In our Weekly meeting we will speak about the blinds. Thank you for this Information. We wish you all the best. BEST regards from the Mustard City Bautzen

"City of dreams with great hotel"
H K A, 05 Octobre 2018

First visit to Bautzen, one of beautiful city of Germany, this hotel is having a great centralized location, and surrounded by leaning tower, food street very near, very good view from the hotel, especially when you are at 6th floor, paid parking available in the hotel, a very good restaurant with various option for vegetarian and non vegetarian lovers.

"Great location in beautiful Bautzen"
davydart, 29 Avril 2018

The hotel is very central with parking to the rear. The parking can be busy in the evenings. The room was a good size with a choice of pillows. The restaurant is good and a great selection of food for breakfast. The hotel is central with the market in the square.

"What does the ‘Plus' in the name mean?"
Yoastie, 09 Mars 2018

This was a Best Western like many other Best Western hotels. Nothing to complain about. The room was comfortable (very hot when I arrived, but opening the window helped). It was also clean and the people were friendly enough. Breakfast was included, which is very good and the buffet was above average. One thing they could improve on is the hotel bar. This is always a difficult topic in these types of hotels, but the area was very small and with a big pillar it was difficult for us to sit with a small group. I never found out what the ‘Plus' in the name stands for, though.

Owner Response, 09 Mars 2018

"Midnight and I was grateful for a room"
kim22041, 24 Octobre 2017

So tried to find a hotel late at night in the Czech Republic with zero luck. So drove three hours to Germany and were lucky to find this place. The initial reaction when we came in was they were fully booked. But at 1am there were a few reservations who never showed and we got their room. Was very grateful as we were exhausted. The room was nothing special. Very generic. But it was clean and comfortable and I got a great nights sleep. Parking was free but you need a slug from the front desk to get out of the lot. The breakfast was great and the coffee was appreciated.

Owner Response, 24 Octobre 2017

"A good Hotel in the center of Bautzen"
Evangelos K, 20 Octobre 2017

We arrived early Saturday evening without a reservation. The lady at reception was friendly and professional. She said could offer an executive room with complimentary breakfast ,at a higher rate that we expected to pay, she could only drop the parking charge for us. We decided to stay , it was indeed the room worth the money. Big room with American space and standards with double bed and good mattress. Bath and shower also with a lot of space and WC in a separate room. All the amenities also provided ,flat TV screen and WiFi without extra charge. Our room overlooking the castle and the center of Bautzen. Buffet Dinner was quite good at a reasonable charge with a variety of dishes.Chicken, pork and local specialties as well as salads and different cheese and deserts Buffet Breakfast was also good with many things to choose from and the traditional pot of German coffee.Overall a good night stay and experience from a well trained Hotel staff .Try this Hotel if you are in the area although you may also find it a little expensive.

"Unexpected awesome visit"
JaSa S, 06 Juin 2017

Very, very standard hotel, very clean, comfortable rooms, from this point everything is standard. But the surprise came when I have decided to take my dinner in their restaurant. Apart from the special and dedicated service rendered during my dinner, I have tasted not only one marvellous dish but also drinked awesome beers, checkong that they have even more to offer, and that I want to repeat, 4ever!!!

Owner Response, 06 Juin 2017

Dear Guest, Many thanks for your feedback. We´re really glad about your positive impressions during your visit here at the Upper Lusatia in the east part of Saxony and hope we can welcome you soon again in Bautzen. Kind regards H. Thieme Hotelmanager

"Very central. Near shops and supermarkets."
NDEHone, 22 Octobre 2016

If you do not eat "Brötchen und Aufschnitt" you may ask yourself why they charge €13 for a cold breakfast. Fortunately, right next to the Hotel you can buy fresh fruit and a bit further is an Edeka where you can buy fresh cornflakes and other cereals that the Hotel does not keep fresh.

"Very good hotel with nice family room"
Miklos N, 13 Août 2016

We have spent one night with two children in a suit with a king sized bed. First of all the hotel is located in the city center, which is perfect if one wants to take a walk in the evening. The hotel has a parking and in July we found plenty of empty places. The staff was very competent, and well prepared for our arrival. The suite had two rooms and both were fairly spacious and well equipped with modern/new furnitures.Beds for the children and for us were very convenient. Bathroom was very nice/clean and well equipped as well. What really impressed me though was that in the breakfast the honey was served directly from a framed honeycomb. Definitely will go back and recommend this hotel with children.

"Direct in tthe town center, parking lot crowded, great breaky"
ksg48, 24 Mai 2016

I stayed only one night. On arrival I drove to the hotel parking lot, but must realize that several bays are owned by other companies, so dont park there. Moreover, two drivers had no adequate skills and blocked the places adjacent. At the end, I got one place at the end. Long story short, the receptionist mentioned a sign with hint going to whatever street - I have no idea where this street is and in the dark with heavy rain the sign was relatively invisible..but my car was well ! Very friendly and effecient checking, friendly staff. The room was spacey enough, also the bathroom. Good bed with a choice of hard and soft cushion (both were there !). Good matrasse, but the blanket reached only for one person, but I was solo. Flat screen, coffee kettle (not used), smal desk, a chair and small sitting area. Shower in tub, soap in dispenser, enough and good towlels, venting a bit of noisy but stops sometime after the light goes off. Water pressure ok, also temperature. Room was very silent. Also a deposit box, a minibar, a lot of coat hangers, a baggage support. AC couldnt be controlled, but was not to loud. I slept well. Floor was nice and every thing worked fine. Breaky was great - fresh fruit (melone, pineapple, al sweet and juicy !), also fruit salad, scrambled eggs w and w/o ham, sausages, bacon. Cerelas, milk (also free of lactose), juices, coffee, tea, buns and croissant, bread, marmalde, honey, ham, cheese, tomato/mozarella, smoked salmon and so forth. For a german hotel really great, and a wonderful surprise ! Everything was of good quality, the watresses are attentive and nice. Checkout was efficient and , yeah, friendly staff ! The next time definitely again !

"Quite good hotel at Bautzen"
Sh1v, 16 Janvier 2016

Pros 1) Very good hotel, good location 2) Fantastic Service by the staff. Absolutely top class Cons 1) Extremely poor WiFi in the rooms. Have to go down to the lobby and use anther WiFi everytime you need internet.

"Comfortable hotel"
Krista Z, 30 Octobre 2015

Clean and comfortable hotel with good location, nice view to old 'German pisa' tower and parking in the yard. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Small double room, but enough for short stay. Good breakfast. Nice old town, worth to visit it.

"Bautzen Stay"
Andrew F, 24 Octobre 2015

Stayed here for two nights. Close to city centre and easy walk to most places of interest. Vehicle parking included in cost of the room, WIFI is available. Breakfast was good. View from 6th floor is good.

"Just not enough"
Fir S, 01 Septembre 2015

Best western plus. I wonder where the plus comes in. This hotel doesn't seem to know that a double room actually can be used by two people. One comfortable chair, one beerglass, one packet of coffee and one of decaf. One code for the wifi per device. We both own a computer and a cell and I don't think we are the exception. A phonecall led to a second access code brought up to the room in minutes. We arrive at the end of a heatwave. We found out that this hotel doesn't come with airconditioning. We had dinner here. The food is very well prepared. The portions were to small however. Doubling up on the potatoes and the veggies would have made it "enough" and with that it would have gone to very good. Now it was very good flavour and irritation over skimping. When my wife moved the desk chair to the window two screws fell out. The open window caused the windowsill to get wet. When we dried that it turned out that either the rain or the window sill was filthy. The beds are very good. We were on the street side and are people that like to sleep with the windows open. Espescially when the room is still warm after a heatwave. There was a political rally going on on the square almost in front of the hotel. Luckily the second part of the rally started when we opened the windows: irish folk music. I am a fan and my wife doesn't mind it. For us it is ok. If you really don't like irish folk your choices would have been: sweltering in the room or listening to loud music you don't like. The music stopped at ten. The view from the window is lovely. It looks out over the old town. All in all, this hotel is overpriced by 30 to 40 percent.

"Stabil quality"
jaramalo, 09 Juillet 2015

Again I was satisfied with accommodation in this hotel by my last business trip. It offers high standard german quality of accomodation and meals. I can high recommend to book this hotel by your visit of Saxon, Bautzen.

"Very nice view of Bautzen!"
hnrkp, 20 Mai 2015

So, fairly somewhat-above-average hotel, but with a very nice view of the city! Can't complain about the service, or efficiency when checking in, or helpfulness with where to go and what to look at in the city. Nice rooms, free wifi.

"Breathtaking view of charming Bautzen"
MOZART05, 06 Septembre 2014

This hotel is ideally situated. We took many pictures of Bautzen's architectural wonders from our sixth floor window. It is a 10 minute picturesque walk to the train station. The room was comfortable. We did not try the breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay in Bautzen and would definitely stay at this hotel again.

"An average place to stay"
mathildexl, 16 Décembre 2012

We stayed for a weekend at room # 424, room and bathroom are appropriate. The common rooms lobby and bar are uncomfortable and the diningroom has the ambiance of a canteen. The cheesy Christmas tree and tabledekoration are genuine plastic and horrible to look at. Breakfast is average, no more no less and no eggs to order. We had diner every night and it was quiet good and the price reasonable. The service (waiter and check-in) is good, attentive and unobtrusive. The computer workstation with printer in the lobby is complimentary.
